KeymasterI haven’t fitted seats, but
I haven’t fitted seats, but my advice would be to get seats with seat belts already fitted, then you don’t have the problem of trying to fit a seat belt.

I would fit it myself also. Typically fitting requires drilling holes through the van floor, but using a spreader plate on the underside to spread the load and stop the bolts pulling through.September 27, 2012 at 10:36 am #121488Darren

ParticipantThanks for that, would not of
Thanks for that, would not of thought of mini bus seats and yes with the seatbelts already attached will make life easier! On a side note, anyone got any recomendations for a decent drill? Not sure ours would cope.September 27, 2012 at 6:18 pm #121494conleyclan

KeymasterI have a Bosch 18v cordless
I have a Bosch 18v cordless drill. It’s very good.
Dewalt are my favourite, but expensive. Sometimes you can find them cheap.
To be honest for big drilling jobs get a cheap 240v mains drill. They have a lot of power. Just make sure it is vary speed so you can start slow.September 27, 2012 at 6:20 pm #121500Darren
